Nomad final assembly

Your Nomad is looking beautiful....

Thanks Gary, as you know this has been almost a life-long project but I'm happy with how it's turned out. Just a little more to get to the finish line. I decided I'm probably not going to do another Tri5 project since I now have a numbers-matching '62 Corvette and numbers-matching '69 Z/28 to work on with the years counting down. Still have work to do on the Montana place and in CO so we can get moved up there. Hope you're doing well.

Hi Paul, I've been really busy with stuff. I got back from MT and have been working on finishing the cargo area panels. It's been really challenging and I've had a mental block on it, but I'm making progress. I'm currently on vacation in Costa Rica and will be back next week. Javier is waiting for me to get this stuff done so I have to get with it. I have a lot going on with the Montana shop too. Also bought a numbers matching '69 Z/28 just before I left and have to pick it up when I get back.

Laszlo...how about an update on your Nomad or the Mt. house. Inquiring minds want to know.

I’ve been “lurking” on your build for years on various sites; car looks fantastic and it appears to be very close! Amazing work.

I've been in Montana and Javier has been working on my seats. Here's the last pic before the car went to his place for interior work I took the hood off but assembled the air intake. The car is now back from Javier's but I had to leave for Montana right after that. When I get home I'll be working on re-assembling the front console and the electronics in it, some carbon fiber stuff and trying to get the dash all put together.

Here's another pic of the car mostly assembled. I had to take the hood off again because I put the hinges together wrong.

Is that a power antenna ? Thanks Sid

yes it’s a power antenna. Some guys delete the antenna but I’ve read the hidden ones don’t work well and I like having a radio. I wanted to keep all the stock stuff on the car but upgrade them. I had to make some custom parts to make it work.

I've spent most of the past several weeks working on interior stuff, and on the Montana house. But I did get some more assembly done.

I have installed the hood but it still needs adjustment after I get the other fender on. I'm hesitating on it because I've still been having some issues with the brake pump. I will need to get it installed so I can get the car down to Javier's shop for carpet.
